Seraphina thought that Leandro was going to be super busy after dealing with the temporary issues created by Vivian Smith.
She knew that Bowen had already started to make his move against Leandro, and Leandro had been aware of this. There was no way he wouldn't have a counter-strategy.
Especially after he had attended a social event despite having a stomach-ache the night before. And Keen had said that the social event was important, which meant he must be busy dealing with stuff.
However, to Seraphina's surprise, Leandro didn't go to work the next day.
Instead, he spent the whole day with her, taking Valerio to school and swimming. The entire day was consumed by family time.
This was a rare occurrence, even on weekends. Valerio was naturally over the moon, and suggested going to the zoo in the afternoon, which Leandro agreed to.
Seraphina was a bit puzzled and finally asked him, "You were so busy yesterday, how come you're so free today?"
"I just finished a busy phase, naturally there’s time for me to chill." Leandro replied casually, "Didn't you want me to be obedient? I let you watch me all day, isn't that obedient enough?"
Seraphina moved a bit closer to him and sniffed, "I suspect you're drunk."
Then Leandro reached out his hand, gently held the back of her head, and pulled her towards him.
As Seraphina was forced to get closer to him, she suddenly heard a "click". Turning her head, she saw Valerio snapping photos of them with a camera!
"You little rascal!" Seraphina was immediately angry, "Where did you learn that?”
Valerio just laughed silently and ran away with the camera.
Leandro couldn't help but smile at the sight of Seraphina chasing after him.
He knew she was always shy in front of Valerio.
After a day of family time, Valerio fell asleep in Leandro's arms in the car on the way back. Seraphina kept checking the trending topics on her phone.
She glanced through many posts, but didn't see anything related to herself. She had no idea what Leandro was up to, so she stopped thinking about it.
Meanwhile, at the Martin Group headquarters, the lights were still on in the high-level office on the 42nd floor.
When Bowen entered Simon Martin's office, it was bustling. Simon sat behind his desk with Lionel and Teague sitting across from him, and several senior managers standing by. Everyone was frowning and deep in thought.
Everyone looked at him as he entered, and their gazes stayed on him.
Bowen remained calm, just smiling lightly, "Mr. Martin, what's up?"
Simon slowly said, "I believe you've heard about what happened with the company's projects these past couple days?"
Bowen replied with a light smile, "The Martin Group took some big deals from the Reynolds Group. The Reynolds Group is bound to react, I think it's all normal."
"What do you mean, 'normal'?" Teague, looking at his troublesome future son-in-law, couldn't help but be angry. "Do you know how much bad news we received today? The construction project in Europe had to be suspended due to government policy issues, a real estate project was exposed for safety hazards, even our dock containers have been detained—"
